Train based walk
Leader: Jude
Difficulty: Moderate
Distance: 12.9km / 8.0mi

Join us on this lovely winter walk, going sharply uphill right at the start, then out along Froggatt Edge with fabulous views of the valley towards Chatsworth House. Dropping down to Calver, we walk back along the Derwent River along riverside, farmland and woodland paths.
If it’s wet and windy it’s quite open countryside, so good winter clothing and sturdy boots will be needed. It will be very muddy in places, with uneven ground and paths along the route.
